It's called "Crush the Castle" because the goal is to pile so many wasted shots on top of the remains of a mostly-destroyed castle that the lone survivor is eventually crushed by the weight, right?

I love the whole Crush the Castle series, but 98% of the castles in the players pack are just a bunch of pansies who substitute creativity with just shoving as much steel in as they can. Throw stone or a big wall in front of it and ta da. 0 creativity minus a couple castles. Goddamn steel.

Don't worry about getting gold medals until you've beaten all fifty castles. You get a super bomb for doing that and it makes it easy to get gold on everything.

Definition of Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...... Thanks to the mechanics of this game, I think there is now yet another established scientific law of the Universe that needs to be revised. XD

.. Some of the levels are just ridiculous. I gave up half way through and simply beat them until i got super bomb.
very poor level design in some cases.

Don't bother trying to get gold in every map before finishing the game. The special weapon you receive after finishing the game makes it way easier.

its so bloody annoying when the corpses of your victims and the pieces of the crushed castle form a freaking protective shelter around the survivor, which happens.... FREAKING ALWAYS! also, what happens when a falling pillar rams into another, standing pillar? topple it? crush it? nope, it REINFORCES it!

"We really wish you would've tried harder" Sorry, my three GIANT stones take 13 throws to break down a steel embedded fortress..

I was going for a golden badge (2 shots) I used my first shot perfectly and a knight was blown away.... While I was getting ready for the second shot, the flying knight intercepted my Bomb and I lost.... Karma is a bitch

The player should have more control over the physics in this game. It's difficult to aim properly even after resetting the level multiple times. In addition, there are too many levels in which people become safely nested under the castle pieces, thus preventing you from completing the level.

Best feeling ever: When you've just fired your super bomb group and everything lays in ruins. However, the game shows one person still left alive but you can't find them. Then you just see them falling from the top of the screen and die on impact. Awesome.

Knight: "Oh, look. There's a giant trebuchet with bombs attached to it aiming for our castle. Should I go warn the king? Nah, I'm sure it won't even hit the castle." "Hmm, the bombs completely crushed the castle. Should I run away? Nah, I'm sure everyone is okay. I should keep guarding it." "Oh, boy. there's a giant bomb heading toward me. Should I move out of its way? No, maybe a wizard will come by and blast it to bits."

Resistance Engineer: Well here's the problem- Your Castles are haphazardly built of wood & stone with no mortar, nails, screws or cement holding them together whatsoever.

"See that "castle" made of nothing but steel?" "Yeah you need to take that down with one shot for a gold... oh yeah and here's the pebble."

why do i have the feeling that it is ME contructing impenetrable castles out of rubbel , corpses and my own projectiles?

For a VASTLY less frustrating time with the hard badge, just try to clear all levels asap as long you get a bronze medal. By completing every level you unlock the (one) superbomb, and you can use that to get gold near effortlessly. The three superbombs is only unlocked after getting all gold, if you were wondering.

Apparently, all you need to do to survive a catapult siege is to be shorter than the king and queen and stand in between them such as in Tower of High Wizardry, Wintervale.
